facepalm.jpg

IIRC, the creator of Death Note wanted Raito to be Light. And Hercule is the French name for Satan.

They switched M. Bison and Balrog's name to avoid controversy and legal issues.

>>35118544

I don't keep up with official translations, but I thought they've stopped doing this?

And
>Raito not Light
This one is just pure weeaboo faggotry. It is Light, the author confirmed it. Scanlators changed it from Raito to Light too when they found out.

>>35118563
You mean Satoshi.

Oh look a thread about translations.

Get what you are given and be happy with it or learn Japanese and gtfo.

Karen not Kallen
Horo not Holo
Poplar not popura (because it just sounds better)

Also, we've been calling Princess Toadstool Peach in America since Super Mario 64, where have you been?

i lost my shit when i found out it was mike bison

>>35118649
>Horo not Holo
Fuck you, her name is Holo, anime creators said so.
inb4 korbo

>Ash

Fuck That

It's M. Bison not Vega
It's Balrog not M. Bison
It's Vega not Balrog (The fucker LOOKS like he would be named Vega, fuck you Japan)

Peach has been ピーチ since SMB1.

>>35118634
>This one is just pure weeaboo faggotry.

Sweet Gaga, you are aware how gay that sounds?

Are you not? Well, let me tell you that if you call a young adolscent person "light" then one should worry about your mental condition. In fact, the homosexuality is leaking out of your asshole that I can smell it through my monitor.

Sweet Gaga, please go dive into a river and never come up again.

I MADE A STUPID CHART, I'LL POST IT ON EVERY BOARD!

>>35118649
>Horo not Holo
Ok now you're just trolling. It was confirmed to be Holo after release but fansubbers stuck with Horo.

>>35118679
It's RED CYCLONE not ZANGUIEF

>>35118628
It was actually a cycling of names. Vega should Balrog, M. Bison should be Vega, and Balrog should M. Bison.

I wish Capcom would ask Mike Tyson if he wouldn't mind having a Street Fighter character made after him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Also they felt that Vega wasn't a manly enough name so they gave it to Balrog.

Fuck Capcom of America. They make so many terrible decisions. Look what they did to Rockman EXE.

Is more like it.

>>35118672
Yeah, well, if I don't accept KUROE as Chloe, then I'm not accepting Holo as Horo.

The pronunciation is more accurate with Horo, or to be more exact, Hodo.

>>35118735
I lol'd

>>35118694
I don't even know who you two raging weeaboo faggots are talking about, all animu-shit characters are the exact same.

Hey, be glad. One of the alternative names they considered was Rainbow Man.

>>35118686
>if you call a young adolscent person "light" then one should worry about your mental condition
And "Raito" would be any better how? Though either way, I don't disagree that it's a gay name.

Horo is not Holo because I like Horo better. I wouldn't be the end authority on this, but those Japanese idiots have no fucking clue about l/r, so I'm more qualified than them to make this judgment.

Arucard

Alucard

>>35118817
I don't know where you get your confirmations from but that is wrong and you probably know it anyway.
Was it that signature which you are backing up your claim with? It doesn't say Korlo/ Korbo it says Holo however it was written poorly.

>>35118785
Actually, no. I'm not Western. I'm Taiwanese.

is the worst thread

Ash is called red?

wut.

>>35118872
You're just ignorant faggot with a head in your ass.

>>35118872
This. There are even incidents where the Japanese fucking government makes mistakes with the L/R sounds.

I seriously trust my judgment. It's fucking Horo because it emulates the name better than Hoe-low.

Durralara

Dullarala

>>35118875

Sorry bro, it's Alucard.

It's Dracula backwards.

>>35118885
Different version of this pic (which is cropped from a larger /e/ pic)?

Well, it's an obvious troll thread. For example, Princess Peach is the Japanese version, not toadstool. The emperor is obviously thrown in for lols. And calling Light Raito is an act of the highest faggotry imaginable

>>35118888
Kuroe is the literal translation from the Katakana release of the name クロエ. However Chloe is acceptable in translations for an English speaking audience.

>>35118939
What the fuck?

>>35118928
And I'd like to add that the fact that they tried to write 'Holo' and got 'Korbo' officially establishes that their opinion is irrelevant.

>>35118939
>Durarara
>Not Dullahan
hahaha

>>35118686

Raito is how you would spell "Light" in katakana. Because Japs can't say L's and can't end a word with a consonant, except N.

His name's Light, nigger.

>>35118978
I didn't buy the LN, but I thought Kuroe was what was written in the official English translation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I can't buy that shit because I don't live in the States.

OP here. I am a massive faggot and I want to suck your cocks

Faggot
Not OP

Everything else is fine.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CALD CAPTOL SAKULA YOU TROGLODYTES

>>35118993
Just, stop talking. Of course it emulates the name better for an English speaking person, however that doesn't make it the official Japanese release of the name.

>so angry right now

>>35119056
Whoever did this needs to be murdered with a cleaver while having his guts pulled out.

>>35119074
Yes, and my point was the official name is irrelevant because its source doesn't know what they're talking about.

Who would give a fuck about Rurouni Kenshin? Samurai X was good title translation.

>>35118946
I guess that the one I used was slightly edited for use as an avatar.
I don't have the larger /e/ version though.

Chloe is anime-only. Sorry bro.
She isn't in the manga or light novel.

In the manga and light novel it's a guy named Yarei (I think the scanlators used a different name)

>>35119114
Take a few minutes to understand the different between an official release from the creators to clear up phonetic confusion and people who prefer something different.
Fine be happy with Horo, however you are wrong in accepting that and I won't try to change your clearly invalid >opinion< again ^^

>>35119160
Your arguments, they do nothing!

Oh wait, you didn't actually use argumentation.

Updated

>>35119145
>GULLEN RAGANN
Hilarious thing is that it's called after two japanese words ("guren" being a commonly known color and "ragan" being a composite word for "spiral stone") and they even pronounce it GURENRAGAN but no one ever gave a damn about Gurren Lagann'ing it.

Yet Holo? FUCKING HERETICS IT SOUNDS WITH R

>this entire thread
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpellMyNameWithAnS

>>35119194
Why does peach still have toadstool as her japanese name? that's bullshit

>>35119184
Clear up phonetic confusion? It just adds to it because Holo doesn't even sound like ホロ

It's not an invalid opinion. Opinions are not facts. You can't have an invalid opinion.

Also,
>^^

>>35119184
If I didn't understand the difference, I couldn't make the judgment that the official name is shit.

And of course this is my opinion, what else would it be? If 'Horo is better' were an objective fact I wouldn't bother to argue it.

>>35119190
That wasn't me, however you remind me of an annoying friend who cannot empathize with the arguments/ opinions of others and he will carry his wrong ideas to the grave.

>>35119260
Who's the arbiter of what is the wrong and what is the right translation? The original authors who can't tell the difference between Rs and Ls, or people who can?

It's 2chan, not 4chan

>>35119249
>>35119229
Sure is summer.

>>35119286
>The original authors who can't tell the difference between Rs and Ls
YOU think that they can't. As authors, they have the last word on EVERYTHING they do. Not you, who probably didn't even buy their product.

>hobo

>>35119229
how else would you express Holo in japanese?

>>35119299
>cannot argue against a counterargument
>BAW IT'S SUMMER

Ironically, your behavior is that of newfag summer, not ours. We're typing in coherent sense while you just avatarfag and rant about how your opinion is fact.

>>35119318
Rather, I know they can't do it better than I can because clearly Horo sounds more authentic than Holo.

>>35119260
I know that wasn't you, you're not that retarded.
And I don't mind that you disagree, I just ... well, disagree. And yeah, I'm not going to suddenly change my preference, because I think what sounds good and makes sense is more important than what is official, seeing as the official source doesn't understand the latin alphabet and can't pronounce it either.

>>35119339
Horo. That's the proper romanization.

>>35119318
Pretty much this. It isn't up to you to make your mind up on what name is best for the series, just like it was mazui's etc prerogative to stick with fansubbing the name Horo until the end of Season 2.

>>35119339
I wouldn't, because japanese doesn't have Ls and Rs
thatsthepoint.jpg

(nottheguyyourearguingwith.jpg)

I just asked a couple Japanese Americans how to romanize ホロ

They all said Horo. I trust them more than Japanese authors who never touched an English book.

>>35119367
There are no R or L in japanese, rather, there is just a sound which is something between those two. Pronounciation varies from person to person but sound director doesn't have to care about that because Japan would understand either.

Why aren't you bitching about Guren Ragan? Same case.

>saying Horo is wrong
>not summer

NEVER CHANGE, SUMMER FRIENDS.

>>35119376
>the official source doesn't understand the latin alphabet and can't pronounce it either.
That's because it was aimed at a Japanese market, not an English speaking one. You just destroyed your own argument.

>>35118679
>>35118709


Hate the name changes in for those three, makes it really confusing to discuss the game since me and some of my friends first played the Japanese version of the game while others played the US version.

>>35119412
>I just asked a couple Japanese Americans how to romanize ホロ
Out of context? Now ask them to romanize 紅蓮螺巌. You won't end with Gurren Lagann, I'm sure.

Can't both Holo AND Horo be acceptable romanizations, Jesus fucking Christ.

>>35119443
NO
YOUR FACTS ARE WRONG

>>35119437
Asking right now.

>>35119466
They called me annoying and crazy and refused.

Well this thread is getting silly. Have fun arguing a losing battle just because you hate losing but deep down you know you are wrong however you don't want to add to your insecurities. Such as being a fat wanker who thinks that Japan is all about anime ^^

>>35119412
>Japanese Americans
By that you mean a couple of school friends who took Japanese classes and think they should have been born Asian, don't you?

>>35119484
No, fool. Keep deluding yourself that my romanization is correct.

>Implying Red and Ash/Satoshi are the same character

>>35119506
I mean incorrect.

The mispronunciation of Ishval as "Ishbal" in FMA has annoyed me for years. Even FUNi's "official" dub fucked up. They even continued to fuck it up in Brotherhood until they suddenly switched to the correct version like 7 episodes in.

The official romanization of 紅蓮螺巌 is "Crimson Lotus Spiral Iwao".

Google said so.

Did I mention that I have the first volume of the Spice and Wolf novel next to me with Holo clearly being used in written form...something to think about.

I'm gonna stick with calling her Korbo.

It has been Princess Toadstool Peach since Mario 64. They also changed Robotnik to Eggman recently

>>35119418
I disagree. The setting is alternate Europe, and there's names like Lawrence. The Western European meaning of L and R matters.

>>35119610

Easy mistake to make, i understand

>>35119579
That's such a poor debate, it's like saying that you would prefer her hair to be grey/ black like a lot of other wolves. However the writers are clearly idiots in thinking that brown is a good choice because they do not know their color tables.

>>35119578

BEJIITA
NOT
VEGETA

>>35119666
Haha, I lol'd.

>>35119412
Because you don't understand Japanese. They have no typographic signifier for "L', so literally translating ホロ isn't going to give you an "L" no matter what. The Japanese "R" sounds differently than the English "R", and due to its peculiar pronunciation it can be used in place of "L"s for English words, which is how the Japanese translate English words with "L" in them.

Example: Pilot is パイロット or Pairotto. The English "L" has become a Japanese "R". If you asked someone out of context to romanize ホロ, they would say "Horo", because there's no reference for what they're Romanizing. If the name in question is supposed to be "Holo" (which it is), then the ONLY WAY a Japanese person can write it in their language is ホロ. Does this cause problems for translators? Obviously yes, but it doesn't change what the author intended to be name of the character.

>>35119670
That could be a relevant analogy if Japanese artists were grey/brown colourblind.

Whoever did the OP image is a moron. Peach was always the original name for Toadstool in Japan, and the villian from Sonic was named Robotnik before Eggman because the game was released in USA first. The two names are canon.

The Raito thing is just stupid.

Nope not running, just graciously leaving as I have other things to do before work tonight.

If they used Raito in the English dub instead of Light, my penis out of fallen off. Think about how they try and incorporate Japanese pronunciation for the names when they don't change them after the dub. They try, but they're also lazy about it. Now imagine everybody calling him Raito and you tell me that would be a good idea. Seriously, the 't' would end up being a flap and 'o' would be centralized for some of them, especially the ones they decided needed an British accent.
